So I guess this mean that those photos we saw of nightbeat and Jhiaxus were false?
Friggin Roadbuster... YES!!!!!!
Posted by Sodan-1 on February 15th, 2014 @ 12:44pm CST
Shit. I need a new job. Like a bank robber maybe. Also very relieved to hear those Nightbeat and Jihaxus images were bullshit.
Posted by Primeultimus on February 15th, 2014 @ 12:47pm CST
No wonder they stopped taking orders and went Non Active.
Look forward to the rest coming out later this year.

Also, I don't think the toys we saw yesterday for AOE were the main line, I REALLY hope they weren't.
Posted by Primeultimus on February 15th, 2014 @ 1:09pm CST
Really want Shrapnel , Gears and TailGate.
A proper Roadbuster to pair with Whirl is going to be awesome!

So freaking relieved that what we saw yesterday wasn't the mainline. So freaking relieved.
7 more "classified" figures coming down the pipes later.
More stuff to be revealed for Age of Extinction? Meh, I'm a patient man when it comes to the live-action films, it's Generations that's killing me.
Legends Wave 3
Gears w/ Eclipse (Swerve remold)
(Jerry coined the term 'autogasm')
Acid Storm with Venin (Starscream repaint)
Glad to see Legends are still going at it. Though I don't remember Acid Storm being on the Master List.
Deluxe class Nightbeat (retool of IDW Bumblebee)
Jhiaxus (new mold)
Windblade
Thank. God. Wasn't all for Reveal the Shield Jazz as Nightbeat.
Voyager Wave 3
Roadbuster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sky Byte (looks more like a Cybertronian Shark)
Yeesh, that's gunna put a damper on Fansproject's Steelcore Roadbuster...

Five more that we aren't going to see yet. Boooo!

Kre-o Transformers product line
----------------------------------------------------------------
Micro Changers (Movie)
Misfire, Fangwolf, Trypticon and Skarpnel
Jarugar ... and others
Jetwash, Wingpspan, Hawk, Highbrow and one other (slide went too fast)
Wait, it says Movie but I don't think any of them have appeared in the Movieverse...
... except Highbrow, I'd LOVE a Kreon out of him!
I wonder how that Skrapnel will compare to my Shrapnel custom.
Custom Kreons: Optimus Prime, Drift, Ratchet, and Lockdown (Movie styled)
I hope we get Kreons of the previous 3 Movies, too. I'm sure AoE will have some wants, but I NEED Blackout, Barricade, Jetfire, Bonecrusher, and the others.
Micro changers Combiners: (all new characters)
Grimstone - mollox, Iguanox, Crackback, and Ironeye
Lazerbolt
Obsidian
Volcanicon
New characters? In Kre-O?! That's... that's just weird. But could be interesting.
Though I'm disappointed they seemingly aren't doing the non-G1 Combiners. (or non-US-cartoon-G1 or whatever Sabrblade will probably correct me on)
Grimlock Street Attack with 3 Kreons (Gold Knight Optimus Prime and 2 Vehicons)
Jail Cell Breakout with Swoop looking dinosaur and 3 Kreons - Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Vehicon)
Lockdown Air Assault with Dinosaur, Lockdown, Sideswipe and Hound
Galvatron's Factory Battle - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Vehicon, Dr. Littleman, 2 - KSI Workers
That's a lot of Optimuses. And Vehicons? Didn't know they were in AoE (unless "Vehicon" is just a catch-all Decepticon mook term now).
And yes, I totally ignored everything that isn't Kre-O.

Posted by Hip-Hoptimus Rime on February 15th, 2014 @ 2:15pm CST
And Evasion Mode Optimus? Cool! Sounds like a plot device.
Didn't see a name for the Argosy truck, was there one? Actually, I think I put it together with the description in the first post. Great work guys, keep it up.

Ingenious how they used the curves of the car's hood for Crosshair's coattails. Drift looks great, if a little too bulky. Can't wait to see the robot mode on that leader Grimlock.
So, are these the ones that are coming out in under the Generations line? If not, will there be another set of figures that will be even more complex/collector-oriented than these ones?

Also, these collector versions of the AOE deluxe toys. They look like a substantial size, and I would anticipate them being expensive for that reason. Don't be surprised if their price approaches $20

Actar wrote:Holy crap! All that worrying and panic button pushing for nothing. On first glance, these figures actually look rather decent, cool even. I just hope that they managed to pull those off without much transformation cheating.

The Age of Extinction line has the simpler stuff and the Generations stuff. The latter is the more complex, collector geared line.
What we see here, other than the ones that look like shellformers and FABs, are the Movie Generations.

Armada Starscream Retool. But where's Nightbeat?
Everything look great, especially our fan favourite Sky-Byte. Hey, I wonder if his bio will be written in a haiku like they said they would for Universe

That would be Galvatron, yeah! Which also visually confirms the slicing bot from the trailer.

And yeah, that does not look like Nightbeat.

I was going to skip the movie line! Why in the hell do these have to look awesome!
I was telling myself to skip the movie line because, after having seen the first edition Optimus, I thought it would be horrible! I figured I'd get Grimlock and MAYBE Crosshairs, but they all look awesome! That's not fair! My wallet can't repel want of this magnitude!
**EDIT**
Also: I am *SOOOOOOO* glad I didn't go through with my plan to buy the Ruination version of the Wreckers since it looks like we'll be getting Generations versions of all of them! Just need Impactor, Twintwist, Topspin, Wrack n' Ruin, and Broadside now!
